look like nymphs of some kind of true bug. Boxelder bug for one example (this is not what's in the picture!!!) I think I have seen those somewhere but can't remember where.......

Look kind of like them - the young of some stinkbug species like to gather together and in a few species the parents take care of their babies.

Looks like the spiny stink bug (genus Podisus0, which is a predator (http://www.utextension.utk.edu/fieldcrops/cotton/cotton_insects/images/SpinedSB-larva1-Web.jpg) - encourage them to stick around!
